主題：The Next Generation Project Management Information System (PMIS)

講座大綱：

Next Generation PMIS
Next generation project management information systems (PMIS) are embracing complexities and uncertainties, in other words, they are more readily to deal with high complexities and uncertainties than the older project management tools.They are also expanding their coverage from planning to both planning and execution.As project management practices are shifting from control-the-future to communicating-and-influencing-people to encourage and guide their involvement, the modern PMIS allow different levels of information transparencies to influence people’s behaviors under different situations.
This presentation will cover:

1. The current trends of project management practices and how they affect PMIS.
2. The key models that make PMIS powerful.
3. How an advanced PMIS can effect information transparency, how information transparency can effect human behaviors and how human behaviors can effect project success. 
4. How an advanced PMIS can be used to manage the following types of complexities in individual projects:
   • large amounts of project and product details that require recording, reviewing, approval and tracking;
   • poorly established accountability for and commitment to the project;
5. How an advanced PMIS can be used to improve the project success rate.
6. How an advanced PMIS can be used to reduce the difficulties of managing complex programs (e.g., large-scale outsourcing)

This presentation will also discuss the difficulties of implementing an advanced PMIS in real-life environments, how to overcome them and how to obtain maximum benefits.

Mr. Stephen Law is currently the CEO of WisageTech.  Prior to co-founding WisageTech in Hong Kong 2004, he was the Head (CIO) of IT/Systems at Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited.  Prior to his return to Hong Kong in 2001, he had worked 25 years in the U.S. and had held executive level positions at companies such as Perkin Elmer,Concurrent Computer,DEC,Citibank,Perot Systems™ and InterWorld™.

Stephen started his career as a software engineering researcher in Bell Labs in the U.S. and had led both methodology and tools development efforts.  As part of his successful management career, he had managed many large projects in different environment settings. Stephen believes that effective project management requires the skills of applying the right practices to the right environment.  He thinks that people should not blindly memorize best practices but learn how to read project environments, make effective judgment and tradeoffs and introduce useful tools to detect problems and control execution.

Stephen has accumulated enormous wealth of management experience and knowledge over his 30-year career in large multinationals as well as technology start-ups.He is the author of the book entitled 8thManage: How to Surpass India and U.S. in Software published by Tsinghua University Press in China and Cosmos Books Ltd. in Hong Kong in 2006.  Stephen has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Computer Science and Mathematics (double majors) from the Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
